This photo, serious and exuberant all at once, does not dabble in intricacy but instead goes straight to the central message of power and passion. Suspended in air, the girl seems almost to be flying, her expression one of deep concentration and yet intense joy. Her muscles defined by the dark background only add electrifying presence and emphasize the incredible power behind such a leap. Flooded with light, viewers can't help but be rocked to the core as emotions of grace and passion flow over them.
